CEO & Chairman of the Board's Message - "Building & Enhancing Shareholder Value"

The company has decided to diversify its assets and seek out, review & acquire advanced Copper & Gold assets in safe mining friendly jurisdictions, while continuing to advance its current projects.  I believe that the minerals sector is finally, once again, coming into favor, based on current market sentient, conditions & foreseeable long-term demand for Gold and especially Copper. 

The foregoing opinion & statement certainly is a forward-looking statement, and since I'm about to make more of the same, I urge you to read the  "Cautionary Disclaimer" available on the Company's website, and as referred to again later in this presentation.

The Company, during the time of the recently persistent down-turn in the mining sector which was further magnified by economic difficulties caused by the Covid epidemic’s supply-chain issues and the resulting high inflation rates to fight inflation, has maintained and advanced its current projects prudently under adverse market conditions, without causing any undue shareholder dilution.

. 

The Company’s current highly prospective "Gnome Project" (the "Project"), a 100% owned Cobalt/Zinc exploration property is in the heart of an area that is home to both the Cirque deposit held by a Teck & Korea Zinc Joint Venture  (T-KZ-JV) and the Cardiac Creek deposit (held by ZincX, a junior company).

Based on current global economic, social, political, environmental & ecological dynamics & the transforming trends emerging at a time when the world population growth, especially of the elderly reaches new highs, the demand for minerals/metals will reach highest levels both in the established westernized economies and the emerging economies.  And, this is all happening when the mining sector needs to emerge from a period of being in disarray.

The recent on-going  sentiment in the mineral sector markets of under performance, as was the case when our Company acquired its current highly prospective Gnome Project (Zinc / Cobalt) provides the Company a similar  opportunity, once again , to pursue and acquire advanced mineral assets.  Incidentally, I had also assisted another company similarly, a company that I headed at that time as CEO (Tintina, now  named Sandfire) in acquiring the Black Butte copper project in Montana, U.S.A.; one of the highest grade copper projects in the world, finally being put into production. 

Note: Pursuant to the Company's business plan, when the Company first was listed onto the TSX Venture Exchange in 2009, immediately following the 2008 market demise due to the banking crisis, the Gnome Project was acquired at what management believes to be exceptionally low price, representing "cents on the dollar for exploration work previously already conducted"; and without significant dilution to shareholders. upon the completion of an extensive review of  global demand for various types of metals when metal prices were unfavorable and/or depressed, especially for Cobalt & Zinc. 

The right time to Acquire Advanced Copper & Gold Assets is "Now".  Our Team can accomplish it, and again, with shareholder/investor support. it's "Time to Review the Facts".
